I'm going to steal a nice suit from one of the White Glove people and go around as a James Bond style diplomat. With a revolver. My friend's put the IndieGogo up for Fallout: Lanius: http://www.indiegogo.com/FalloutLaniusFanFilm

After getting all the achievements, I had to go back and start another play-through. I ended up grabbing the riot gear from the start of Honest Hearts and the rebreather to make a Bane character. Unarmed is so fun.

It's pretty scarce in the beginning, and you'll be well-served by a recharger in Honest Hearts, but after getting to Freeside, I was never hurting for Energy Weapon ammo. Also, you can make your own out of the (even weightless in hardcore) drained cells. I guess it's not as common as bullets, but really if you just carry two weapons that use different ammo types, you should never be hurting for ammo. I mean, poo poo, I use a fully upgraded Laser Rifle on my current character, which is widely considered the worst thing to do, and I don't have any trouble with ammo.

How do I trigger the ending slides? Do you get them when you beat the last mission for your quest-side, or do you keep adventuring after that point until you click something to make the ending roll?

The ending slides play when the game ends. You'll get a big "THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN" warning before you start the last mission. Dubious Spoiler: The last mission is the second battle for Hoover Dam

I have an incredible stock of microfusion cells. I also buy up the cheap, but 15% less effective bulk stock anytime a seller offers it.

For example... *Although it's not part of her normal inventory, when Veronica dies, she is carrying ten packs of cigarettes. *When you give Festus enough Star bottlecaps, his cowboy hat pops up and spins. Also, if you wait around for a while after finishing, he begins talking again. *In Freeside, a child is chasing a giant rat. If you kill the rat, he eats it.

I forgot about the star caps since it's been over 70 hours since I've talked to the weird cap collector guy. I have to go back to Sunset Sarsaparilla when I finish OWB. The shitload of Sunset Sarsaparilla that you get to loot in the factory was already a pretty nice reward in itself (I love chugging several bottles of that stuff before a big battle). I'm kind of bummed that some creepy cap collectors haven't ambushed me for those caps.

Yeah, you just click 'em off in the launcher or Fallout Mod Manager. Or you get a mod that puts them somewhere other than in your inventory at character creation.

They'll re-enable, though, when you start up the game, so you'll have to delete the NAM files in the Data folder. Don't worry, their absence won't mess up your game or anything.

So I grabbed Raul at Level 4 on my latest playthrough (by way of resolving Black Mountain peacefully via stealth boy and magazines) but instead of hightailing it to Vegas I decided I would jump down and start the BoS quests by investigated the dead guy in that one that crater swarmed by centaurs. There were way too many and all I had was a dinky laser pistol/rifle combo and a handful of ammo, so I just jumped in the crater, grabbed the holotape and loving gunned it. Behind me I heard the sounds of gunshots and Raul yelling, and I hoped I could make it to a bunker before they killed him. As sturdy as Raul is, I was low-level, had 2 CHA, and there were like eight of them. I made it to the bunker, Raul appeared beside me, and I slept on the little cardboard mat to bypass the nightly sandstorms, and when I woke up and left I saw a dead centaur hanging on the fence. Curiously, I followed it only to find another dead centaur or evolved centaur every twenty feet. He had killed them all

I'm all cyborged up thanks to Implants and blackjack. It feels like they should play a part in the story, rather than being given to you in a random shack. Looking forward to getting my Pimp Boy.

You can get the FallOut Mod Manager (FOMM) which lets you disable specific mods, you should definitely get it if you're planning on using any other mods. Each of the Courier's Stash components is a separate mod, so if you only want the tribal pack or the mercenary pack or whatever you can enable just one. If you want to mod further, go to the mod thread which has a killer OP that is up to date on where to start.

Did you pick up the eggs in the little cave where you can also get the Light Machine Gun and mini-nukes at quarry junction? Otherwise you'll have to kill the other Deathclaw Mothers in the Mojave at Dead wind Cavern and the deathclaw promontory, I think there may also be some guarding a batch of eggs at Gypsum train yard?

Yeah, that's where I got the eggs I have. I was hoping there'd be some easy way to get more of 'em. Well, for values of "easy" that involve killing Deathclaws.

Don't quote me on this, but I think you can sometimes pick them up off of ordinary Deathclaws too (rarely though, and only one at a time.)

Right. The absolute minimum rads you can get in an irradiated area is one rad per second.

I would say that getting that stuff fixed at the clinic outside of Vegas is probably a bit pricier than most people can afford. But I think whatsherface at the Followers can just kind of go "Hey, have a shot" and fix it for nothing, if I remember correctly.

I think it's really a gameplay/story segregation thing, otherwise why would the Followers need your help getting people who consider themselves friends of the Followers to kick their drug addictions? One of them, even convinced to attempt to get sober, will only do so (barring a speech check) with a large amount of fixer to get him through withdrawals. If it was as simple as going and getting a shot (Which the Followers would probably do for free, and which you don't have the option of covering for him), you'd think he'd just do that.
